Week 1 Let's "Due Resiliency Together



Our aim is not to overwhelm you or your students during an already overwhelming time, so please know these resources and activities are not "have-to's.” Pick and choose any or all of these activities as ways to support the overall social and emotional growth of your child(ren).

      
Physical 

Kids need 10-11 hours of sleep.  Going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every day
can help our students reach this goal.  

Track when you go to sleep and wake up by writing the time down or drawing it on a piece of paper.   

Example:
Bedtime: 8pm 
Wake up time: 7:30am 
Total hours of sleep: 11.5 hours

Emotional 

Draw or write what is in your control and out of your control.

Example: 
I cannot control - A thunderstorm 
I can control - Telling someone how I am feeling, going to a safe place in my house, distracting myself with a game 


Social 

Playful Connections--Play a card or board game with your family.

No game available? Make your own charades! Write some actions on pieces of paper and put them in a hat or bag. Take turns picking one to act out without talking and see who can guess it.
